Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

JMan mucking the winning hand is going to bring back a lot of critics.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Uh oh.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

phil mucked his hand in a chopped pot...oops

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Nah, he's not a Nit......

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Oh dear.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

jman looks so [censored] uncomfortable.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Not gonna berate him. He didn't think it was good and probably didn't want anyone to know he was raising with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

why does gold do that before a fold?

why can't he just fold?

I don't know... I think to count as 'playing' a hand you have to show it down when it wins part of the pot. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Not a hater.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Nothin' but Galfond for the first 3 hands this episode.

And yeah, "Uh oh" is right.

Really? It checked around 3 times. That tells me I've got a non-trivial chance of winning with my 7. But whatever, we all make mistakes.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

6 way? its harsd for me to think so but id still hang onto my cards until i saw a better hand. no big though, he only lost the 4500 he raised...

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

He lost ~10k more that he would've won in the chop.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

yes but thats what, 10bb with straddle...a mistake but not a major one

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Actually, he lost something like $13.5K.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

i know about the whole chop thing, didnt feel like calculating it though...but still 10-11 bb, nothing big

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

150k more??

The % chance Sammy folds is not zero.

He felt like shutting out the other players in the hand. Ya know, the guys who'll call huge prices to see a flop.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

I feel bad for Daniel. He has that same degen face I've seen a thousand times in a casino at 4AM.

at least the live donks could have waited till the show ended to attack

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

I loved Gabe's comment about Gold not value betting. He could have won soooooooo much more money this session it's not even funny.

People come on here and attack hellmuth and farha and negreanu if they make bad plays. He chose to be on the show. Therefore, people can attack his play. No one is saying he is a bad player, but there is no need to defend someone who mucks a pair in that spot. The players with 4-4 didn't muck.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

people with a brain need to stop caring that people without a brain think jman sucks

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

Phil's not doing good at counting his opponents' outs.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

except it wasnt a bad play, it wasnt even during the hand, it was a showdown. was a mistake, and id say it was a mistake and not a bad play if anyone else done it either...it happens. but oh well.

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

What is it about money that you hate? lolol

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

LOL. Sammy even wants to chop his insurance deals.

I will admit that mucking a hand before seeing a better hand tabled is a noobish mistake. I feel sorry for him having that broadcasted on TV

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

If they can ban prop betting, why can't they ban this Hellmuth insurance crap.

He is still a great player, but that fold is still a classic. If Jamie Gold did that on his first episode of HSP how do you think people would have reacted on this board?

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
 

WOW !! that next episode trailer was the sickest [censored] ever !!
